Brace yourselves, Netflix is adapting another anime for live-action

The streaming service that brought you the aggressively middling Cowboy Bebop adaptation and the straight-up dumpster fire of a Death Note film is determined to try and find itself a live-action anime adaptation that will stick the landing, with Netflix’s next foray into this niche being an adaptation of City Hunter.

This won’t be the first live-action take on the 1985 manga, with Jackie Chan having starred in a Hong Kong adaptation in 1993, but it will be the first time it’s tackled by a Japanese cast and crew from where the series originates. Ryohei Suzuki is set to star as Ryo Saeba, and Yuichi Sato will be directing. Netflix shared the first poster of Suzuki in the leading role on Twitter.
